Boggy Creek Airboat Rides
Posted on February 28th, 2009 No commentsWritten by: Duncan Watson
Authors WebsiteI have been on an Airboat Tour before in the Everglades some fifteen years ago and I had forgotten how great an experience this can be. On my last trip to Florida thankfully I didn’t have to go to the Everglades this time to repeat this experience. I picked up a brochure from one of the many outlets and tourist centres and after reading the literature I finally decided to use “Airboat rides at Boggy Creek”. The main reason being because it looked good and was the closest to Mickey’s Woodland Retreat. I priced up the offer and found the usual discount of 10% off in one of the money off booklets. The price was now about 20 dollars for adults and about 13 dollars for children.
The address for Boggy Creek Airboat rides West, is 2001E Southport road, Kissimmee, Florida 34746. Telephone number 407-344-9550.
Directions are, take Highway 192 East to Poinciana Blvd. Poinciana Blvd is located between markers 10 and 11.Make a right on Poinciana Blvd. Go 19 miles South until it meets a dead end. Poinciana Blvd. Will change its name to Southport road.
When you arrive at Boggy Creek Airboat Rides, you discover territory that has remained unaltered by man, in the wilderness of the Central Florida Everglades. Experienced Captains pilot the boats and take you into the breathtaking beauty and natural wonders, including wetlands, cypress trees, and wildlife. We saw many alligators of various shapes and sizes. We saw turtles and a variety of birds all in their natural environment. Earmuffs deadened the noise of the huge engine and fan but this did not stop our pure enjoyment of a truly wonderful 45 minutes. I felt safe at all times in this exciting and educational airboat ride filled with surprises and fascination. We hit speeds of up to 45 mph, and then watch wildlife when we stopped.
This is something I would definitely consider going on again because you never know what you are going to see .I hear they do a one-hour Night Airboat Tour! I am not sure about this, but it may suit you.
